Yes, you guessed it! The machete and handgun are a-ok in Texas but this little keychain kitty is a "brass knuckle" and therefore illegal.

DO NOT USE 3D PRINTED GUNS! You will blow you had off. Unless its resin or cintered it does not have the strength to handle gun powder.

I think the keychain is illegal in most places.

Makes sense, cats have been known to be pretty deadly.

can we all agree ppl should be able to carry weapons as long as they dont use them on ppl without justification

Texas is a pvp zone.
mrsmeat
Same with switchblades, illegal to carry, the the assisted open folding knives are perfectly fine
Armored0Titan0
Switchblade have been legal for like 5 years.
mrsmeat
Go figure Minnesota hasn’t jumped on that bandwagon, legal to own but not outside your residence

Can you imagine the lawsuits from kids choking on them toys?

I always thought the ban on brass knuckles was stupid. i can hold keys in my fist and get a similar effect.

Sort of like how you can use your belt as a wrench. It works 10% of the time for shit that isn't stuck to begin with.

Brass knuckles protect your knuckles, keys don't.

For real though, Keychain Kitty could fuck someone up
Johnsky
Rightly so. If someone deserves it, you make damn sure they're dead so they can't do it again.

that's not a machete
Dirtheavy
it is, in fact, a machete. It's a parang machete. https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Grylls-Parang-Machete-31-002289/dp/B0091AVTR8
Dirtheavy
the wikipedia page for parang, where it says it's a type of machete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parang_(knife)
LunaticOfGodsCreation
What about the printed one is that illegal for being a fake ass gun?
creamedLead
You can 3d print entire firearms now, granted you can only get one or two uses out of them. Definitely legal to make though
reallynotbob
Don't believe so. Federal law now does not prohibit and in TX it is permit-able, assuming permit needed.
ClapTrapConjurerOfTheDarkArts
No, 3d printing guns is not illegal, you will likely hurt yourself and most of the 3d printing community will think you are a piece of 1/2
ClapTrapConjurerOfTheDarkArts
Shit, but it's not illegal. Also it's a real gun. It will blow your hand off though

The keychain is most certainly a weapon and designed to be used as a brass knuckles.
shreddedking
and machete and handgun isn't "most certainly a weapon"?
LETHARGICpancake
A machete I would not classify as a weapon. It's a tool like a chainsaw or axe. Handgun requires a permit.

Open carry just means it doesn't have to be hidden. You're thinking of constitutional carry, of which Texas doesn't have

The handgun is a weapon most certainly designed to be used as a handgun
LETHARGICpancake
Which requires a permit
reallynotbob
True to a point in TX. Anyway it is impossible to permit the kitty.
metaorange
The machte doesn't and 3d printed or homemade firearms aren't rigorously regulated
LETHARGICpancake
How could you regulate something homemade effectively? Reason your kitchen doesn't have the same standards as restaurants
